Cambium: are you kidding me? This isn't even close to Irene. I just built a snowman with my three year old. Very pleasant and slightly breezy outside. During Irene and the October snowstorm the sustained winds were 2-3x stronger than these gusts.

Huh? Re-Read it.
The 46 was higher than Irene for one of my locations. Show me where I said this is worse than Irene. Lol.

With Irene the gusts were more frequent which made it worse plus the leaves and river flooding with rainfall...but winds were not impressive at all with it anyway.

BTW.. 25% of East Hampton has no power. 4000 total customers in state..

Edit:BTW .. do you know the max gust with Irene for the major stations?? Lmao. Danbury airport was 40. We could match that today. Bridgeport was 63mph. But again, you can't compare this Irene on so many levels.

I'm gonna be flying in about an hour or two out of HFD (Brainard) to practice take-offs and landings. A few pilot reports from aircraft going into Bradley indicate continuous light w/occasional moderate turbulence so being a smaller plane, we'll probably have moderate turbulence most of the time.

I'll let you know how it goes and hopefully post some video!!!

Winds will be different in Every location especially from varied terrain.

Looks like Danbury Airport matched Irene's peak gust. New London had 55mph today so far.

There are tons of squall lines almost reaching here from the Lakes, partially because of the wind carrying them. The Weather Channel noted that much of metro Philly is getting them right now and put a 20-40% chance that they move this afternoon to NY and CT.

March 1, 2012 Storm Update:

This afternoons Euro continued with its 6-12" snows for all of CT.
And now the Latest GFS (which was warm with rain) is colder so has Rain to snow

Upton is going with the Euro. Says GFS is too far north(warm) with the track.

LATEST FORECAST CONTINUES TO FOLLOW MORE CLOSELY TO A BLEND OF THE 12Z ECWMF AND GGEM. BASED ON THE MOST RECENT STORM SYSTEM...THE GFS APPEARS TO BE TOO PROGRESSIVE AND TOO FAR NORTH WITH THE STORM TRACK IN COMPARISON TO THE GLOBAL MODEL ENSEMBLE.

ITS THE NEXT SYSTEM FOR THE MID WEEK THAT RAISES SOME
INTEREST AS LOW PRESSURE TRACKS FROM THE UPPER MS VLY EASTWARD INTO THE OHIO VALLEY...WITH POSSIBLE SECONDARY DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE MID ATLANTIC COAST. AT THE SAME TIME...SOME MARGINALLY COLD AIR IN THE NORTHERN BRANCH OF THE POLAR JET SPILLS ACROSS EASTERN CANADA AND INTO THE NORTHEAST. LARGE SCALE OVERRUNNING PCPN IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE EAST WED MORNING AND CONTINUE INTO THU. WITH A STRONG HIGH TO THE NORTH...AROUND 1030 MB...AND A LOW TRACK TO THE SOUTH...THE POTENTIAL DOES EXIST FOR WINTRY WEATHER INLAND AND MAINLY RAIN AT THE COAST. HOWEVER...THE DETAILS AT THIS POINT IN TIME ARE VERY GENERAL IN SCOPE...BUT THIS IS SOMETHING TO WATCH.


Watch the placement of that High Pressure. I've seen this happen too many times where it locks cold air in place and it snows.

This is the GFS, it has it the High Pressure too far north hence warmer temps and a rain to snow senario.
